Sen. Jinggoy Estrada Of 'Tatay Kong Sexy' Believes A New President Like Digong Duterte Is Good For The Country

SEN. JINGGOY ESTRADA says that, as a father, his biggest problem while he’s detained in the Custodial Center in Crame is feeling lonely and missing his family. “Mahirap yung malayo ka sa pamilya mo,” he says. “Lagi ko silang nami-miss. Kahit sabihing nadadalaw naman nila ako rito, iba pa rin yung pagkagaling ko sa trabaho, madaratnan ko silang lahat sa bahay namin. Bale two years na kami ni Sen. Bong Revilla rito sa Crame.”

What else does he miss aside from his family? “Nami-miss ko yung shower. Kasi rito, tabo ang gamit namin sa paliligo. Siempre, nami-miss ko ring mamasyal sa labas, magsimba sa Baclaran dahil deboto ako roon, yung trabaho ko bilang senador, at yung pag-arte ko sa movies every now and then. Kaya nga proud ako rito sa movie kong ‘Tatay Kong Sexy’. Very touching ang story nito na sinulat ni Direk Joey Reyes, who also directed it.”

In his Father’s Day movie, “Tatay Kong Sexy”, he plays dad to three kids: Empress Schuck, his own real life son Jolo Estrada and Maliksi Morales. “Biyudo ako rito na mag-isang pinalalaki ang mga anak ko. Feel good story ito ng isang ama sobra ang pagmamahal sa kanyang mga anak, pero natutong umibig uli sa ibang babae nang makilala ko si Maja Salvador, who plays a single mom.”

Does he have a love scene with Maja? “I wish. E, wala. Hindi nilagyan ni Direk Joey Reyes. But I enjoyed working with Maja. Magaling siya. Maganda yung role niya rito bilang babaeng maingay, malakas ang fighting spirit sa buhay, hindi paaapi. And she did it well.”

His term in the senate ends on June 30. What does he think of new president Rodrigo Duterte. “Dinalaw niya kami ni Sen. Bong sa Crame late last year. Nakausap ko rin siya before the election. I think he will be good for our country. We need an iron-fisted president kasi we lack discipline at talaga namang tumaas ang kriminalidad. I think God gave him to us para magkaroon ng pagbabago. Sana, isang gawin niya, ibalik na yung pamamahala ng Metro Manila Filmfest sa mga taga-movie industry dahil sila ang higit na may kaalaman at mas nakakaintindi tungkol diyan kaysa yung sistema ngayon na mga mayor ang nagpapatakbo.”
